And so here we are, ladies and gentlemen, Harry Bearns (evil twin of "Barry Hearns") in association with Don Krease is pleased to announce the continuation of:

TO THE VICTOR GOES THE SPOILS!!!!!

Prizefighter offers an opportunity for lower ranked fighters and the unranked contenders the chance to prove themselves in an open field, where rankings just don’t matter. This tournament is only for the most daring, the bold and the desperate.

It provides a new surge of life to the Champion’s record and an IBO Title shot, while winning the Prizefighter trophy:


Rules of Prizefighter:
1. Prizefighter has been scheduled for three tournaments this boxing season : (Weeks 12, 20, 30)

2. Eight fighters in a series, first come first served. But only 1 fighter per Manager: (spread the opportunities around.)

3. Prizefighter will be run true to life... A straight KO format, series run in a single week.

And What happens to the Prizefighter Champion?
4. The Prizefighter Champion will receive a mandatory IBO Title shot the following week. (Weeks 11,21,31). This is a Mandatory title defence for the IBO Champion.

FIRST NOTE: If the IBO Champ refuses the title defence, he will be stripped of the title and the Prizefighter Champion will participate in a title fight against an opponent chosen by the Commish.

In the event of a draw?
5. If a fight goes the distance, here is the systematic criteria which is followed until we find the victor:
* It goes to the judges cards.
* If tied... It goes to the Commish’s card.
* If still tied... Total knockdowns scored (aggressive fighting is encouraged).
* If still tied... Most punches landed.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
Who can enter?
There are only 2 conditions: (rankings must be accurate of weeks 12,20,30)
A. For fighters ranked below 15 on the Commish’s official rankings
B. For fighters ranked outside of the title rankings.

SECOND NOTE: If a fighter signs up for Prizefighter and on the week of the series breaches the above conditions he will be considered ineligible.

What about later tournaments?
C. The Prizefighter Champion cannot re-enter a later series. Why repeat yourself?
D. New blood is preferred in later tournaments. But fighters who have entered previous Prizefighters can also enter, but will be placed on the “maybe” list until the week of the series.

What about the draw?
E. The eight gladiators will be numbered by Don Krease. A copy of the numbers will be sent to a neutral Manager (to prevent any claims of funny business).

Harry Bearns in partnership with Don Krease will announce the draw (verified by the neutral manager)

This Prizefighter will either be run this week (week 20) or next week, depending on how quickly we fill the eight slots.
We would ideally like to get a fighter from each stable involved in this edition of PF.

Julian Jackson will enter.

this seems like a good way to get McCallum back on the scene, sign him up

Bump. Still tasking volunteers...

Sandro Mazzinghi will give it a shot

Emile Griffith wants in.

4 places left.
And, if need be - I will fill them with high-ranking CPUs.

Okay, as there are so few fighters remaining, I will conscript 4 CPU opponents for our boys.

They will be:
Tiger Flowers currently ranked 24th
Oscar De La Hoya currently ranked 27th
Pernell Whitaker currently ranked 30th
Mike Gibbons currently ranked 31st

Congratulations to our new Champion of the three rounders, Mike McCallum - and the victorious Manager, Mr Fist of legend.
